What happens on a spa day?
The most common spa treatments are massages, manicures/pedicures and facials. However, you might also see offered such treatments as a body scrub/exfoliation, a fingers or toes file & polish (like a mini manicure or pedicure) or a scalp massage. Find out more in our treatment guides. While generally considered safe when done correctly, potential side effects of a hair spa include scalp irritation, dryness, or hair breakage, especially if harsh chemicals are used or the treatment is done too frequently.Whether you opt for professional sessions or DIY treatments at home, the nourishing effects can address a variety of hair concerns. Regular spa treatments can help prevent long-term damage, maintain hydration, and keep your scalp healthy, making your hair look and feel its best.
What to wear inside a spa?
Most spas want you to be comfortable and relaxed, so arrive wearing loose, comfortable clothing like gym clothes, yoga pants and t-shirts. Once you are changed, you’ll be spending most of your time in a robe anyway! Spas want their guests to be as comfortable as possible, so if you would prefer to arrive in non-restrictive garments, such as gym wear or lounge wear then that will be absolutely fine. After this, you will change and spend most of your time in a robe anyway.Swim Trunks, Shorts, and Other Attire Avoid heavy or multi-layered shorts that retain water, as they can become uncomfortable and may drag contaminants into the hot tub. Choosing classic swimwear options designed for pools and spas ensures durability and preserves the integrity of your hot tub.Bonus Tip: After Enjoying Your Hot Tub… Always take a shower afterward as well to remove the chemicals from your skin. Don’t forget to wash your bathing suit as the chemicals can damage the fabric over time. Most of all, enjoy yourself!Avoid loose clothing. Loose clothing can easily get caught on the edges of the hot tub and may not be as comfortable for swimming activities. The best choice for a swimsuit is something that fits snugly so it won’t move around or come off in the water.For private hot tubs, wear comfortable and functional swimwear of your choice. Public and communal spas often require swimwear that aligns with hygiene guidelines—this means no non-swimwear clothing or heavily decorated garments.
Do you wear undergarments at a spa?
When preparing for a spa day, it’s important to wear comfortable undergarments. Opt for underwear that fits well and doesn’t cause any discomfort or restrictions. Breathable options are ideal, as they provide a smooth and comfortable base for your clothes. Wear Comfortable Undergarments Choose a supportive bra that allows for easy movement and doesn’t dig into your skin. Wearing the right undergarments will ensure that you feel comfortable and confident throughout your spa experience.Some clients want to know what undergarments to leave on. That is totally up to you. I will say that bras are hard to work around because I use a lot of long strokes down the back (which feel really good, by the way). A bra interrupts that long stroke.
